Softer than when I had it last. Still needs another three years + in bottle.

Nice entry with beautiful mousse. Lime zest, green apple, lemon, white grapefruit w/ pith, pineapple flesh, white nectarines, herbaceous, white spice/ginger, graham crackers, saline, sea fossils, limestone marl, volcanics, chalky bits, yellow flowers & white roses, jasmine, gentle, crisp, acidity with balance for days, mid tension/structure with a smartly polished, elegant finish that lasts 90 seconds that long sets on spice and volcanics.

More citrus, lemon oil, flint. Still a very fine mousse but not quite at the same level as the 12

Kind of the platonic ideal of a BdB champagne - brioche-y, toasty, hint of mushroom. Long finish. Pairs well with food. @ Persona, Stockholm

A very nice rendition, not the 2012, but very nice. A nice year end out with a friend and colleague

Just the best and most elegant grand cru vintage blanc de blancs we know. Elegance and finesse in spades. All vintages are great and from 10 years old on, its always a threat.

A little richer and more open than the 2012 with a little more brioche.
